Puerto Vallarta fishing report march 8th 2011

Hola to all my fishing buddies around the globe!

the water temperature and our climate is finaly starting to warm up,so we are starting to spot bill fish getting closer to our bay of banderas,also mahi mahi,but for nowwe are in "african pampano" heaven. (of course we are not in Africa)
I went out with captain Nacho in a 26ft panga called "La Bamba" about 22 miles out to the area of "el morro" and the elephant rock.
We were fishing using live bait and early in the morning we landed 3 tough fighting amber jacks,one in the 45lb range and 2 in the 20lb range but around 12:00pm, we started hooking up the delicious african pampano non stop! one after another from 5lb to 30lb. in total we landed about 20 pampanos and 3 amber jacks.

special thanks to Ron and his wife who chartered the boat and share a few of their own fishing secrets.
until the next time!  your fishing buddie: Jonathan.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report

Hola again to all my fishing buddies out there!

the water temperature continue to stay cool and has not warmed up much,so we are still landing snapper,roosterfish and african pampano in the 8 hr charters. this week I went out with the "sea hog"  with captain Victor on a 13hr charter,about 45 miles from the marina,outside of what we call "el banco" and near the Maria Cleofas island.  we had one good fishing trip to remember! the tunas were everywere and we landed 3.  150lb to 175lb tunas and stripped marlin.
for those who want to get tuna,12hr to 14hr charter is what you need,and believe me...there is plenty for everyone!

so..until next time,your fishing buddy:

Puerto Vallarta fishing report

Hello again my fishing buddies!

it has been a while since my last fishing report,with all the holydays and such...but i am back!

I went out just outside the marietas islands this week and had one good day of fishing.
Due to the cold water temperatures that have hit us for the past month,the type of fish that we are landing has changed. we are now in redsnapper´s heaven and also a lot of african pampano.
on this tour i used a lot of live bait and landed redsnapper one right after another using: (big eye) live bait.
they were around 10lb to 20lb snappers!  I also landed a couple of roosterfish in the 35lb range and some african pampano. enjoy the pictures!

well... until next time:

Fishing report

Oct/ 21 / 2010

Hola from Puerto Vallarta!

This week´s  fishing trip took me out to the north side of the bay for an 8 hrs charter. We went to Sayulita and San Pancho area approx: 25 miles form the marina. we trolled at about 6.5 notts and had little luck for a couple of hours as We were looking for Mahi-mahi but then captain Cesar from the "Gaviota" spoted a sailfish sunning on top of the water! We procedded to cast a big eye live bait infront of him and hooked him.he put up a great fight! total fight time: 27min.

as the day progressed We landed two Mahi-mahi and hit the shallower waters and caught two red snappers but then landed a 40 lb roosterfish using live bait which was one great task to get him in.
So...We had another succesful trip!  thanks to captain Cesar and his crew.
untill next time,your fishing Buddy: Jonathan
